My wife had the gastric sleeve surgery, which is less invasive than the gastric bypass, and doesn’t reduce its effectiveness over time like the lap band surgery.It has been a lifesaver for her.There are all kinds of problems that can cause people to be overweight, overeating is just the most common one. without going into detail naming all the things that COULD be wrong, if you need bypass surgery, talk to your doctor about it. Our health insurance paid all but a fraction of it. Her blood sugar is now back to normal, blood pressure is normal without medication, 2 years since surgery.
Thank you for your kind advice. Continued good health to your wife.
